Unvented water heating is the fastest growing sector of the UK market, led by Heatrae Sadia's Megaflo.
The Megaflo name has become synonymous with unvented cylinders and is often used to refer to unvented cylinders in general!
Today, most new homes have unvented hot water systems installed as standard.
They provide a highly efficient means of storing and distributing hot water throughout the property.
Whilst Megaflo are priced at the upper end of the UK market, similar products are available from most major manufacturers.

Unvented hot water cylinders store water supplied from a pressurised water supply.
This is typically the mains water supply.
The heat source may be a gas boiler, electrical heating elements, renewable energy (solar, heat pumps, etc) or any combination of these.
The cylinder stores water under relatively high pressures - typically in the region of 2 to 3 bar (20 to 30 metres head).
As such, unvented systems can service properties with multiple outlets, including those at high levels.
For example, in a loft space.

Unvented Hot Water Systems are subject to the legal requirements of Building Regulation G3 and can only be installed by a "competent person".
This is regulated to ensure the installation is safe, and that all essential safety components are correctly installed.
Below is a Megaflo cylinder showing some of the components of the system.
Some may not be required, and this will vary according to the particular installation.
Below we explain the purpose and functionality of each the component (some are not shown).

The design and installation of any Megaflo or Unvented hot water system is of paramount importance.
Correctly sized pipes ensure optimum performance and efficiency in delivering high pressure hot and cold water to all outlets - get this wrong, and the whole system falls apart!
All unvented installations are subject to the legal requirements of Building regulation G3 and should only be installed by an "approved installer".
This requirement ensures the safe installation of a Megaflo or Unvented Cylinder, but does not regulate the quality, design or installation of the associated pipe work, fittings and components.

Properties not connected to the gas network can have electric Megaflo unvented cylinders.
These are known as Direct cylinders, and are heated with electric immersion heaters.
They are ideally suited to small flats with Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariffs.
In this case, we always recommend having dual immersion heaters.
Especially as it enables use of the lower economy tariffs, in addition to the peak time booster for additional hot water.
Electric unvented cylinders deliver the same benefits of indirect unvented hot water systems.
